32 | Allegation: Staff do not ensure facility has adequate PPE supplies.
It was alleged that while a resident was reportedly required to be quarantined for an potentially infectious disease, that staff did not provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for staff and client use. It was further alleged that on May 19, 2025, a representative from Far Northern Regional Center conducted an “infectious disease protocol inspection” at the facility, which, the facility allegedly failed for lack of PPE.
During the investigation, staff interviews were conducted, of which, (3) three of (3) staff interviewed denied this to be the case. All staff interviewed stated there had never been a time when the facility was without the necessary PPE to do their job safely and effectively.
On May 29, 2025, and June 12, 2025, during visits to the facility, LPA Adkison observed a plethora of PPE supplies available to staff located in the facilities med room. On October 31, 2025, and November 12, 2025, LPA attempted to contact the Far Northern Regional Center caseworker named in the complaint, however, was unsuccessful.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff do not keep facility records updated.
It was alleged that staff failed to keep updated records of residents currently residing at the facility. On May 29, 2025, LPA reviewed client files and found them to be in compliance and current. Additionally, on June 12, 2025, during the facility’s annual inspection, all client fields were again reviewed and found to be current and in compliance with Title 22 regulations.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff do not answer phone.
It was alleged that staff do not answer the facility phone when residents have called for assistance when they are away from the facility. Specifically, it was alleged that on May 15, 2025, a client fell out in the community while on their own. The client used their personal cell phone in an attempt to contact staff at the facility; however, the call was not answered. During interviews conducted with staff, two (2) of two (2) staff interviewed noted that there had been a power outage that same day.
